the great buck howard

So The Great Buck Howard, this is one of those films that goes under
the category of indy fare for me. So is it a good movie no its just
o.k. This movie had one thing going for it and one thing going against
it. What it had going against it is Colin Hanks, son of Tom Hanks. I
have yet to think of him as a good actor, and sincerely believe if his
last name was not Hanks and his dad didn't produce some of his work
(including this one) he would be a struggling hack. What it had going
for it is John Malcovich. He is one of the greats and he does not
disappoint here. He does a great job and to be honest the script isn't
bad. Tom Hanks even has a small role as Colin's dad. They even seem to
have an "on golden pond moment" about being a writer (I would say actor
could have been substituted wherever they said writer.) So did I like
this movie, it was o.k it didn't suck but this blog is about truly good
movies and this is not one, but if you are bored and nothing else is on
you could do worse.
